How might a poem map the passage from life to death? Sylvie Thode [https://english.berkeley.edu/people/sylvie-thode] joins the podcast to talk about a fascinating poem by Tim Dlugos, "The Far West [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RvLedWDwYwdtdVOJQ3wh4yessLsitBlz/view?usp=drive_link]." 

Sylvie is a graduate student in English at UC Berkeley, where she works on poetry and poetics, with particular interest in the poetry of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Though that focus roots her in the 20th century, she has written on poetry from a range of time periods. Her writing has appeared in Victorian Poetry [https://muse.jhu.edu/article/856456], Chicago Review [https://www.chicagoreview.org/drew-daniel-joy-of-the-worm/], Cambridge Literary Review [https://cambridgeliteraryreview.wordpress.com/issue-13/], and Jacket2 [https://jacket2.org/reviews/writing-trauma-silence-and-stillness].
